MADE IN THE USA!... HEY FORUM MANAGERS!

Isn't it time we started supporting our own industry, even if it cost us a little more?

scott#2 aka SLAP JAP ****

But you gotta admit, we did it to ourselves.

Too high of Union wages
Frivilous lawsuits American workers claiming disability for a hangnail.
Taxes out the yazooo
OSHA, DNR, FDA, EPA, Etc., Etc.
Onerous enviourmental laws
Permits, licenses, fees for everything.

A corporation is in business to make a profit, pure and simple. Profit is not a bad word.

All of the above items I mentioned adds to the corporations cost. They can move to china or india and not have any of this crap. Many of these things were well intentioned, but have gone overboard and it has ran our business out of the country.

I dont like it, but we did it to ourselves by electing the people who passed the rules.

I'll get off my soapbox now. sorry, I do like your idea of a Made in USA section.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Just the other day, my girlfriend bought a battery operated pencil sharpener home that stopped working, I replaced the batteries and it still didnt work. It was only 2 months old and made in Taiwan, with Staples printed on the side. I said take it back and buy nothing more. Make them pay for buying inferior junk to begin with and I'll give you a usa made case pocket knife to sharper your pencil. Or go buy an old american made pencil sharpener from a flea market or ebay. DONE!

no more jap, china or otherwise for me, german...maybe.
